Let's not count our chickens before they hatch.

And please no ministry for Yogi, I d rather have him operate in the background.

IF bjp wins then it will be difficult to keep Yogi out of any high office. HM is where he can do least damage and maximum good.

Who had heard of Fadnavis before Maharashtra election? All RSS people were thought to just be about cows and temples.

Nobody knew about Fadnavis, but he had already proven his mettle as a legislator and as a opposition leader in the assembly. He was known for his clear analysis of the state budget presented and his speeches on that. At least the ones who watched the state politics closely, knew about him. On the other hand, my friend says that Yogi or his hand-picked legislators have never done anything worth of mention for the constituencies they represent. While they do have a no-compromise attitude when it comes to protection of Hindu rights, that alone won't be enough for getting the BJP re-elected in UP, given it wins this time. There are bound to be two sections of silent voters. The ones that vote against minority appeasement and the other that votes for development. They do overlap. But if you choose to concentrate on one issue only, then the voters can sway to the other side easily.

Almost all RSS leaders are of capitalist bent of mind with selfless service to the nation as their core purpose. So most definitely only Hindutva is not their focus. I believe Yogi will also be same. Anyways, let us wait and see what unfolds.
